JACQUES.warrant was received, but before itwas issued Jacques had expired.Three hours after his death O'Keefewas arrested at his home, No. 91 SouthRobert street. He is charg-ed withmanslaughter in the first degree.How the fight started no one seemsto know. Friends of Jacques claim thatO'Keefe was the aggressor, but, according to his story Jacques broughton the trouble.The quarrel dates back to the machinists' strike at the Great Northernshops early in the summer. Jaccues isa machinist, and O'Keefe was employed as a special policeman. He wasretained by the company after thestake was settled, and since thenthere has been bad blood between thewatchman and the men.About a week ago Jacques fell tosleep while at work. He was a member of the night shift, and in themorning O'Keefe is said to have reported him to the superintendent. Thiscreated considerable hard feeling.Jacques is said to have threatend toget even.Didn't Know Who Hit Him.Thursday afternoon Jacques and "tiiswife were down town shopping. Whennear the Palace Clothing- compkTiy'sstore at Seventh' and' Rdberf'titreets aman called to him. O'Keefe was sitting in front of a saloon with severalother men. Mrs. Jacques walked! towards Robert street and waited for herhusband. He joined her in a few moments. "Someone hit me," said he,"and I don't know who it was." Bloodwas rushing from the man's mouthand there was a gasn under his eye."While talking to O'Keefe," he continued, "I was struck from behind."The policeman at Robert street wasnotified, but when he looked for theassailants the men had disappeared. .Shortly after 6 o'clock yesterdaymorning the fight was renewed.O'Keefe and Jacques met near theJackson street bridge on Pennsylvaniaavenue. There were but few wordspassed between the men before blowswere exchanged. Mrs. Curran, wholives directly opposite from where thefight occurred, witnessed the trouble.She said: "First one man seemedto get th.; better of the fight and thenthe other. I know neither of the men,and could not say which started thefight. All at once one man fell facedownward and the other jumped uponhim. He pounded him for severalminutes and then a by-stander pulledhim off. Both walked away terriblybeaten. It was all done so quicklythat if I were to see the men again Icould not recognize them.''All Tell the Same Story.Others who saw the fight relateabout the same story. They say thatO'Keefe pulled a revolver and struckJacques over the head with the weapon. Jacques staggered forward andknocked the gun from his assailant'shand. He then fell to the ground andO'Keefe jumped on top of him.Says the Watchman "Got Him."When separated both men left forhome. When Jacques arrived at hishouse. No. 855 Albemarle street, hewas exhausted. He was unable to tellhow he was injured other than to say:"The watchman got to me, and I waslicked." Mrs. Jacques put him to bedand called Dr. Christianson. Before thephysician arrived the man lapsed intounconsciousness. \ Later 5 Dr. - Nicholswas summoned,.but said that nothingcould be done for the injured man Hedied at 12:30 o'clock.Coroner A.-W. Miller 'was notified andhad * the remains removed to - TheodoreBunker s undertaking- rooms, 381 NorthWashington street, where an autopsy washeld.

She says: "Having suffered with stomach trouble for severalyears, I determined to discontinue theuse of coffee and try Postum FoodCoffee.I carefully followed directions formaking and the result was a beveragevery pleasing to the taste. I inducedmy husband to give it a trial and soonnoticed the improvement.He complained of 'heart trouble,' butas he drank coffee I felt sure that thiswas the cause. It proved to be so, forafter having used Postum for a shorttime his 'heart trouble' completely disappeared.Last year we went East and whilethere boarded with a private family.Our landlady complained of sleeplessness and her son of obstinate stomachtrouble. It wa a plain case of coffeepoisoning in both. Knowing whatPostum had done for me, I advised atrial, but the son declared he wantednone of that 'weak, watery stuff.' Well,I had been making Postum Coffee formyself and husband and next morningI offered him a cup and he drank it,not knowing what it was. 'Well,' Isaid, 'you seem to like Postum afterall.' 'What,' he exclaimed, 'that wasnot Postum; why, that tasted fine.Mother, if you learn to make it likethis I will always drink it.' The nextmorning she watched me and I explained the importance of allowing it toboil long enough. After that we alldrank it regularly, and our landladyan 4 her son soon began to get well.They continued its use after we returned home, and recently wrote methat they are improving dally."STATEGROWSRICHERASSESSED VALUATION OF MINNESOTA REAL ' ESTATE ' 13 V, ': •1 '?• r $630,000^)00 :- -':•^♦■c^.-./.--. - -;t.:U'; ', 9 L .■•.'?
